baby teeth getting some love!
23 year old patient in with retained baby tooth that had an older tooth colored filling which was breaking down.

filled the meisal of the first molar while I had it opened up, and then filled the baby tooth with 3M composite filling.

new patient was in today for a cleaning. Last cleaning was a very long time ago. Big difference after 1 visit! Aggressively air polished every surface with sodium bicarbonate and the patient will be back for a second cleaning for fine tuning.

my dads patient still travels from Vermont to see me for their 6 month cleanings after they moved there in the 1990s (our farthest traveling patient and super honored to continue dads passion for his patients)
in 6 month cleaning on Monday
noted crack in the amalgam and saw an opening underneath the distal on lower right first molar, took a PA and bitewing and noted deep decay.
was able to adjust my schedule and get it restored while patient was here instead of making another trip
removed filling and decay and put a new composite filling in with 3M filtek supreme ultra

asymptomatic 12 year old from yesterday with deep decay near nerve on lower left second molar
filled with composite
decay removal, base, clean and boost, surpass, seamfree, 3m supreme filtek supreme ultra dentin and body

new patient in to see me as they were recently told this molar needed to be removed. I felt this could be avoided as the patient had an alive nerve, decent bone, and was symptom free other than the sharp edge from the deep cavity.
filled the tooth with composite as opposed to a crown due to limited chewing force.
removed decay and 3M filtek supreme ultra filling material. Will bring patient back to remove the other broken root, and replace the crown on the premolar due to deep decay

Saw this post. The mouth is the entry point to the body and is so important to maintain! Hope everyone is well and enjoying time with family on this snowy evening.

Brushing your teeth could do more than brighten your smile — it may also help you live longer.
